A motto for the New Year

Whilst I may not be one for specific resolutions, I do like to ride the wave of optimism that the New Year brings and think about how I might make positive-yet-achievable changes to my life, and hopefully that of my family too. With this in mind, my aim for 2014 is to seek out new opportunities for being creative as it’s something that really makes me happy and something I find all too easy to overlook when I get swept up in the maelstrom of daily life.

Whether it be trying new recipes, getting crafty with the kids at the weekend or even putting into practice some of the ideas that I’ve gleaned from my new garden books, I’m going to endeavour to seek out inspiration wherever possible, do lots more making, tons of doing and plenty of sharing the results here on my blog.
